General description

Enhanced Avian First Strand Synthesis Kit utilizes a highly purified avian myeloblastosis virus reverse transcriptase (eAMV-RT) that offers superior performance in comparison to standard AMV-RT or standard Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (MMLV-RT). This exceptionally robust eAMV-RT has an enhanced ability to transcribe through difficult secondary structure at elevated temperatures (up to 65 °C) making it the ideal enzyme for producing high quality full-length cDNA from total RNA or poly(A)+ RNA.
Sigma′s Enhanced Avian RT First Strand Synthesis Kit also provides random nonamers (9-mers) and anchored oligo (dT)23 primers since gene-specific primers may not always be useful or possible. The anchored oligo has 23 thymidine residues and one G, C, or A residue (the anchor). The anchor ensures that the oligo (dT) primer binds at the very beginning of the message and that there is not a long region of the unusable sequence. With this kit, a dependable cDNA is generated that can be used for various downstream applications, including PCR.

Application

Enhanced Avian First Strand Synthesis Kit has been used for cDNA synthesis, which is intended for use in a real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Other Notes

One unit incorporates one nanomole of TMP into TCA-precipitable material in 10 minutes using polyadenylic acid as template and oligo(dT)12-18 as primer.
